1 Claim, 5 Drawing Figures 11/1956 France ..248/68R' ONE-BOLT MOUNT Thisinvention relates to building construction accessories, moreparticularly to mounts for plumbing, fittings and the like.

A principal object of the present invention is to provide a metal platethat is formed with a relatively sharp periphery so that the plate doesnot turn readily when fixed to a wall by one bolt passing through thecenter of the plate. I-Ioles and slots at a standard, or otherwisesuited, spacing are provided for mounting ell and the like.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a device of thetype described which is cheap, strong and easy to install.

These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of thefollowing specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the mount according to the invention.

FIG. 2 is a section view taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 is an elevation view.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing mounting hardware and a fitting installedin place.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged section view taken on line 5-5 of FIG. 4.

Referring now to the figures the mount is metal stamping in which acentral area 11 is maintained flat while the peripheral area 12 is bentdown, ends 13 and 14 being bent further than edges 15 and 16. Thus edges17 and 18 form two lines of sharp contact when mount 10 is placedagainst a wall. A hole 19 at the center, for a wall bolt 20, is the onlywall support. It is then evident that mount 10 cannot turn readily aftera nut 21 is tightened on the bolt.

Two pairs of piercings, square holes 22 and rectangular slots 23 arespaced for the mounting of an ell 24, by example, or other fitting. Thesize of the holes 22 and width of slots 23 agree, and accept carriagebolts 25. Thus nuts 26 may be installed or removed without turning thebolts. This eliminates removal of the moun from the wall for access toordinary bolts. 7

What I now claim is:

l. A builders plumbing accessory in the form of rectangular metalstamping having bent edges, said edges at the ends being bent furtherthen the edges at the sides, said end edges presenting two lines ofcontact with a plane parallel to said stamping, said stamping having acenter hole for mounting toa concrete wall or the like, wherein a boltis provided extending in the direction in which said edges are bent, anda pair of aligned holes intermediate of said. center hole and each ofthe ends, each pair of holes comprising a square hole having a carriagebolt in fixed position therein and a slotted elongated hole receivinganother carriage bolt in adjustable position, said carriage boltsextending in a direction opposite to that of said bolt in said centerhole with the heads thereof being captively retained within a recessdefined by said bent edges.
